I was trying to copy a line of text on the board today, so I highlighted it and pressed Ctrl+C, but evidently that’s not what I pushed and instead all text on the screen went up to font size 18 or something.
Anyone know what I did, and how I can reverse it?
Help please.
If you are using MS Internet Explorer, click View on the top toolbar. On the drop-down window that appears, there will be a selection for Text Size with an arrow. Click or hover on the Text Size to display a list of sizes. Yours should currently read Larger or Largest. Click on Medium. If the font is still too large, go back and click on Smaller or Smallest.
If you are coming in through AOL and do not have that window, this can still work. Minimize AOL (you don’t need to exit). Open the IE browser, either from the ikon or from the Program window off the Start button, and go through the same procedure, maximizing AOL when you are done.
If you are using Netscape, someone else will have to help you. I only see Netscape once a week, and I don’t know it that thoroughly.
I’d guess you have a wheel-mouse and turned the wheel down while holding the Ctrl-key.
Dammit, I’m usually the first to provide this answer. But, yes, I’d wager dollars to donuts that that’s the case here.
Thanks to all of you! I don’t know how I can ever pay you back, this was bothering me to no end, and now I have fixed it. You’ll never know how much I appreciate it, tomndebb, and for therealblaze and waterj2, yes I do have a wheel mouse, although I don’t recall even touching it when I clicked Ctrl+C.
Thanks again

happily small again.
Where can I find out about other mouse wheel shortcuts?
Ctrl(or Alt Gr)+rotate wheel=change text size.
Shift+rotate wheel=back/forward pages (on IE).
Click wheel+ move mouse up or down=scroll page up/down.
Don’t know any others.
